But what about the Xamarin.FORMS.Auth ?
Is someone currently actively working on it? I mean, on the Component, abstracting away the custom Android/ios renderers for the LoginView, The github page for Xamarin.Auth/Xamarin.Forms.Auth doesn't seem to be so frequently updated...https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Auth

Best Answer

In that package there are only custom renderers, so it depends on Xamarin.Forms. This package is minimally tested. There is neat trick that enables use in Xamarin.Forms calle Presenter[s]. They are in regular Xamarin.Auth package.

Is someone currently actively working on it?

I guess I'm besides other projects.

I mean, on the Component, abstracting away the custom Android/ios renderers for the LoginView,

Components (store) will be shut down. Everything will be nuget assimilated.

What is LoginView?

The github page for Xamarin.Auth/Xamarin.Forms.Auth doesn't seem to be so frequently updated...

There is pressure to:

fix bugs

add .NET Standard support (large parts of Xamarin.Auth will be rewritten)

add other providers (Microsoft, Microsoft ADAL, Amazon, etc...)

add new or partially implemented features like other grants/flows (PKCE) and extensions like OpenID

add new platforms (desktop)

this is really short overview what is going on right now behind the scenes of Xamarin.Auth

thanks
